Mom and Popisms (23)
My mother told me to make sure I have clean underwear on in case I get into an accident. Kinda crazy thing to tell a kid isn't it.
I think in today's world parents are more concerned about how much time their kids are spending on tablets/phones and not doing homework.
When I raised my daughter my concerns were homework, Girl Scouts, friends and an early start on simple housecleaning chores.

After coming home late, "You are coming home dead in a ditch! I am knowing it!"
On hearing my temperature had dropped to 34C, "You are dead!"
On taking my (low) blood pressure for fun with my dads home tester, "You are dead!"
There was a theme to my mother's anxieties that no amount of looking her in eye and pointing out that I was still sitting there and talkng could shake her from.

That reminds of when I went to visit a friend in Granada and we went to an art exhibition. The guy at the entrance was checking everyone's temperature with one of those hand held gun shaped thermometers. After trying to check mine a few times, he turned to my friend and checked his. He told him you're ok and can go in but your friend's dead!!

You should have told him witches have a lower body temperature. It's how we don't catch a chill flying around at night.------ This thread is Archived ------

I've just read that those infrared thermometers are often inaccurate, especally in children.His thermometer worked on everyone but me
It didn't say why they were less accurate for children, but a completely random and unconnected thought popped into my head about body mass.

You could be onto something... my body mass is about the same as an 11 or 12 year old ------ This thread is Archived ------

Yeah, my 11 year old grandaughter is about your height.I think of her as being really tall for her age, especially compared with my daughter, but she tells me all the girls in her class have over-taken her now and she's one of the shortest.
It must be global warming and phototropism.

online now!Orzzz: Dont you leave the house with ratty underwear. What if you get in an accident! Gee..I dont think the EMTs cutting off someones bloody clothes will stop and say..terrible underwear!
Stay off the roads on the Fourth, New Years Eve, Memorial Day and Labor Day..all the idiots are on the road. hmmm...like me?
I wonder if parents still tell kids what mine told me in the 60s?
My Dad came in when I was about sixteen and I had proudly cooked a meal for a male friend. My father roars upon entry "Good God what have you done! Men are like cats if you feed them once you can't get rid of them." Stay off the roads on the Fourth, New Years Eve, Memorial Day and Labor Day..all the idiots are on the road. hmmm...like me?

Don't talk politics, finances or religion with people it only leads to differences and arguments.
No one needs to know your personal business.
Learn to take care of yourself if you lean on someone long enough they will fall.
Tomorrow is another day.
Wipe the dust off your butt and try again.
Bullies love an audiance if you want someone to leave you alone then get them alone and show them your crazy side.
I loved my parents so much. But we were not allowed to be sissies in my house. When things got tough the tough got going.
I also heard the one with the underwear
